On today's episode, Geraint talks with former 3 Para sniper Hugh Keir, who is host of the awesome H-Hour podcast. Some of the topics in this episode include; discovering who you are under fire; how war can shape you in a positive way; and the importance of working on yourself after life in the army.

As background for this episode, and to learn more about Hugh's most kinetic tour in 2006, you can watch the documentary Heroes of Helmand, and read the book No Way Out by Major Adam Jowett, who was Hugh's OC during their battle in Musa Qala.
